Hey y’all

So I’ve been a big anti-Wayland shill around here but decided to finally give it a shot, I installed Debian 12 with GNOME, and can’t seem to get Plank working.

Without the Plank dock, GNOME is unusable, and KDE refuses to autostart Guake (does not save the setting in autostart), and when it works it seems broken (stuck to the left side of the screen).

These are fundamental apps to me for any decent Linux laptop use. What gives? Is there an alternative?

    You could try Yakuake instead of Guake in KDE?

      Sure! Is it missing any features from Guake, or is it just some clone fork?

          Well, technically the OG would be Quake, but Yakuake did come before Guake.

        I’m afraid that I’ve never used either Guake or Yakuake so I don’t know either of their feature sets 😁

        Neither is a fork of the other, but Yakuake came first. I assume it has more features, since that’s how it usually goes with KDE apps vs GNOME apps. Haven’t tried Guake, tho.
